1951 Map of Whitehouse
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The Whitehouse and Monclova areas of Lucas County are defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and the sandy terrain of the Oak Openings region during the early 1950s. The Wabash Railroad serves as a primary transit corridor, cutting diagonally through the landscape and connecting smaller settlements like Garden and Crissey. This era shows a rural landscape transitioning toward modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the Airway Beacon and Swanton Water Works. The landscape is heavily engineered for farming, with dozens of named drainage features such as Webster Ditch, Bovee Ditch, and Strong Ditch channeling water toward the Swan Creek and the Ottawa River. Local history is preserved in landmarks like Roberts Chapel and the Whitehouse Cem, while the Valley Wood Golf Club and Metropolitan Park indicate the early development of recreational spaces near the urbanizing fringes of the county.
